It is an offence in Canada to not maintain proper business records.

Business records for taxes and whatnot yes. But to not maintain a list that could be used for marketing (mail, telemarketing or whatever) is something else. If it was like that, every store would do like Radio Shack and ask you for your phone number and name every time you buy a soda.

I don't see how you could maintain proper business records if you state on your site that you destroy order information as soon as it is shipped.

What section of the criminal code mentions that?

286(3) of the excise tax act for instance, there are similar provisions in the income tax act.

tax records are entirely different from client records. If the two where as intertwined as you suggest they are, Safeway would ask for all your details when you're getting groceries.

True. I still imagine that records existed though, lets say he emailed order confirmations, every order would be on the server.

I am actually personal freinds with Marc, and extremly close friends with one of the people involved in the raid last night (got a call as they were being arrested).

This goes way deeper than you could imagine..

elaborate on that

helll...i didn't know you could make money off of seeds?

i been throwing mine away. lol

50........... :)

with or without his client list, if people used credit cards or checks to buy the seeds, the bank or visa will have records of the buyers...

What do you mean by that?

I used to grow cannabis when I was young. Its a very funny hobby. However, my parents didn't like it, heh.

I'm not going to get into it on the boards.. but the RCMP have had him under surveillance for 8 years now...
